That the Parliament recognises the first occurrence of Scottish Folk Day, which took place alongside European Folk Day on 23 September 2023; recognises that Scottish Folk Day 2023 was coordinated by Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland (TRACS), an organisation with an ethos centred upon empowering communities across Scotland to discover, develop and practise the traditional arts and heritage that shape and inform the context of their daily lives; notes that the Cross Party Group for Music welcomes this celebration of traditional Scottish folk music and hopes to see this celebration become an annual event; recognises that Scottish Folk Day took place alongside European Folk Day 2023, which was organised by members of the European Folk Network (EFN); understands that folk music, as well as other traditional methods such as dance and storytelling, conveys the voices and stories of people, nations and communities, preserving the cultures of the past while evolving with each new generation; congratulates TRACS and the EFN on organising their respective Scottish and European Folk Day celebrations, and wishes both organisations the best of luck in the future.
